Chapter 54: Dedication to the City
After pursuing Chen Xinjun for 20 miles, he finally drove most of the North Korean rout to Pyongyang according to the predetermined plan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
With the state of these routs at this time, they will definitely not dare to fight with the Jin army outside the city for a period of time in the future, as long as tens of thousands of troops are all gathered in the city of Pyongyang, then even if the North Korean soldiers waste firewood, they should be able to give the Jin army some casualties by relying on the city to defend it, right?
Everything that could be done was done, and Chen Xin stopped paying attention to it, and seeing that the old and weak of the North Korean army were eliminated, he stopped the pursuit.
Then he pressed 1,000 Korean prisoners and a large number of weapons and armor captured, gathered the rear team, and came to Anzhou 5 miles outside the city to repair.
The purpose of camping here is to take advantage of the great victory just now to deter the enemy, while waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army.
Just as everyone was setting up their tents, a group of people came out of the city, as if they were tied up and escorting a few people, and slowly approached the garrison of Chen Xin and others, and it didn't look like they were coming to fight.
As the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon, Lakshin hurried forward and asked for clarification. I let the first few people come over.
A group of people dressed in North Korean official uniforms, led by Lakshin, walked respectfully towards Chen Xin.
"Anzhou soldiers and horses are temperate, so that Shen Yiqian pays a visit to the general," a North Korean official took the lead in paying homage to Chen Xin.
Chen Xin casually responded, "Get up, I'm not a general." ”
Shen Yiqian buried his head deep in the ground and continued, "General Huwei, I will wait for the subdued, the soldiers and civilians of the whole city are already well aware of the power of the soldiers and horses of the kingdom, and they dare not resist stubbornly, so they have come to sacrifice the city, and they have also captured Xiao Zhengyang, the envoy of the Anju Metropolitan Protectorate of North Korea, who wants to use the mantis arm as a car, and the lower officials do not dare to ask for anything else, I only hope that the general can pity the obedience of the people in this city, and do not want to kill." ”
Although I don't know whether this Shen Yiqian's words for the people are sincere or false, but at this time, Chen Xin really doesn't have the energy to tell the difference, this crazy rout battle has consumed all Chen Xin's passion, and Chen Xin just wants to take a good rest at this time.
However, it is a good thing to be able to get a military town without fighting and without dying, and Chen Xin does not want to make trouble.
Turned over and dismounted, picked up the Anzhou soldiers and horses to control the envoy, and said politely, "Shen temperance can judge the situation, which is the blessing of Anzhou." ”
Then, in front of these North Korean officials, he ordered the guards, "Pass my order, and don't disturb the people after entering the city." ”
"Yes" the guard came out of the line and went down to deliver the order.
"Zhong Fulin."
Zhong Da came out of the ranks, and his right hand clenched his fist and hammered his chest, "subordinates are in"
"Take your military law team and go to the streets to be on duty, and if anyone dares to rob and cause trouble, they will be dealt with heavily according to military law."
"Subordinates obey orders."
Shen Yiqian's face was full of joy, "The general governs the army well, and the military discipline under his command is strict, and he is really a division of tigers and wolves." ”
Chen Xin waved his hand, "Don't be polite, I'm not a general, I'm just a reserve now." ”
Shen Yiqian saw that Chen Xin had said twice that he was not a general, and he did not insist, "Your Excellency is really too modest, the inferior people have already seen the majestic posture of the adults in the city, with your achievements today, the position of general is already within reach, and the lower officials have set up a banquet in the city, and I hope that the adults can appreciate their faces." ”
Chen Xin said a few polite words with a smile on his face, but he kept chatting, but his feet did not move.
It wasn't until a loud eagle's cry came from the sky, signaling that there was no ambush in Chen Xincheng, that he relaxed and waved his hand to order, "Enter the city." ”
People who have read the Three Kingdoms will always be a little wary of all kinds of fraud, and Chen Xin is of course no exception, with two eagles and falcons in a shift, there will always be four eyes in the sky to scout the whole city.
Now that he knew that there was no ambush at the city gate, he relaxed and entered the city with his soldiers.
When passing by Xiao Zhengyang, the so-called envoy of the Anzhou Metropolitan Protectorate, who was tied up, Chen Xin just swept his eyes and walked forward.
But this Xiao Zhengyang suddenly broke free from the shackles and rushed towards Chen Xin.
At this time, everyone was on the horse, and it was inconvenient to turn, so that the person rushed to Chen Xin's eyes.
The big cat pulled out his knife, rolled off the horse, and stopped in front of Chen Xin in a few steps, and the reconnaissance platoon scattered around also raised their bows and arrows and aimed at several officials who came to Xiancheng.
Shen Yiqian and several officials who surrendered immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "My lord, we really surrendered." Forgive me, my lord, we will definitely see the prisoners next time. ”
Chen Xin could see clearly that the rope on that person's body was still tightly tied, and there was no threat without a weapon in his hand, and he rushed to 5 steps away and stopped there, and was held by several people with knives on his neck.
With a wave of his hand, the detective lowered his bow and arrows.
Turned over and dismounted, slapped the mud that the big cat rolled to the ground and stuck to his clothes, and used the medical terminal to treat the wound he broke when he fell off the horse, patted the big cat on the shoulder, between the brothers, everything was silent.
Turned around and came to Xiao Zhengyang, "Do you have something?" ”
Xiao Zhengyang's face was full of seriousness, "I want to see what it is like to take a few hundred people to drive my 20,000 army like a rabbit." ”
Chen Xin smiled slightly, "Now that you see it, what do you think?" ”
"Sure enough, it's a barbarian."
Chen Xin's face fell, he didn't speak, a captive, not worth being angry about, turned around and was about to leave.
That Xiao Zhengyang spoke again, "You and other barbarians raise troops for no reason, conquer our land, and kill our people, such an unrighteous army will be spurned by the world." ”
Chen Xin ignored him, and sneered in his heart, "What about spitting, can you drive away the invaders, it's just another mouth cannon, this kind of reader is the most useless." ”
How could I have thought that Xiao Zhengyang actually shouted: "I have received the kindness of the imperial court in the world, and now I have not only lost the city and lost my land, but also fallen into the hands of the barbarian enemy." Everyone, people with lofty ideals and benevolence, do not seek to survive to harm benevolence, but kill to become benevolent. Repaying Jun'en is today, and Xiao has taken the first step. With that, his neck rushed hard against the blade, and the blood flowed like a torrent of blood.
Several other people who were tied up also exerted their strength together, shouting "kill yourself" and "serve the country" and crashed into the knives and guns around them.
Among the North Korean officials who came out to surrender, several of them also had red eyes, but they disappeared again in an instant, clasped their heads tightly on the ground, and did not dare to get up.
Chen Xin subconsciously wanted to save people, but looking at Xiao Zhengyang's eyes, before his feet were raised, he gave up again.
What if he is saved, this person is already determined to die.
"Nothing to do and talk about your heart, and report to the king when you die." When I saw this poem before, my heart was full of contempt for the behavior of ancient Confucian scholars, who never worked weekdays, and when the country was in trouble, he actually died. It's just unreasonable.
But when he came to this era and really saw someone practice this sentence with his own eyes, Chen Xinzhong was full of shock.
Chen Xin couldn't help but think of Shi Kefa in the future Nanming period, as an official, he was incompetent, but as a Chinese, he fulfilled his obligations.
Such a person, no matter what kind of mistakes he made during his lifetime, should be respected by the people of the country where he lives.
In the divergent thinking, Chen Xin thought of the Confucian culture that has radiated throughout Southeast Asia for thousands of years.
Confucian culture can actually create such a contradictory character as tolerance and strength, what kind of charm does he have?
